SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background: Transatlantic trade and 

investment flows constitute the largest 

economic relationship in the world, 

creating jobs, increasing economic 

growth, and driving competitiveness on 

both sides of the Atlantic. The United 

States and the EU are committed to 

identifying new ways of strengthening 

their economic relationship and 

developing its full potential. A number 

of studies and proposals have advocated 

new bilateral trade, investment, and 

other economic agreements to access the 

untapped economic opportunities of the 

relationship. The High Level Working 

Group on Jobs and Growth will consider 

these and other proposals aimed at 

promoting job creation and growth 

through expanded trade and investment. 

Upon completing its analysis, the 

Working Group will consider and 

recommend practical means necessary 

to implement any policy measures it 

identifies. These could include a range 

of possible initiatives, from enhanced 

regulatory cooperation to negotiation of 

one or more bilateral trade agreements 

addressing the issues above. 

The Working Group will provide an 

interim update to Leaders on the status 

of its work in June 2012. It will submit 

a report with findings, conclusions, and 

recommendations to the Leaders by the 

end of 2012.
